Public bug reported:

The only PPD for 2605dn is Foomatic/Postscript. Each time I install this
printer, I must change the model for 2605 and then choose the
recommended Postscript PPD to have correct resolution and color options
for this printer (e.g. ProRes 1200, ImageRET 2400).

Since 2605dn is only a 2605 with duplex and network, it should have the
same default PPD and the same choices.

Also, a PCL6 PPD (with adequate resolution and color options) is needed
for this printer. Maybe as a default, since Postscript is hideously slow
sometimes (like bug #1095498). Actually, I have installed a generic PCL6
with Guntenprint and a HP2500 with hpcups. With these, the printer is
quick but I only have monochrome output.

Ubuntu 14.04 (actually Linux Mint 17.2)
system-config-printer-gnome 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.6
system-config-printer-common 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.6
